I know if we place href in item template in asp:template field within columns the href will be available for each row. I am looking to have only one href for the whole grid so that it get's all employee id's that are binded to the grid. Please find the code below
<asp:GridView>
<columns>
...
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Send Mail">
<ItemTemplate>
<a href='mailto:<%#Eval("EMP_ID").ToString().Trim()%>?CC=<%#Eval("EMP_ID").ToString().Trim()%>&SUBJECT=<%#Eval("EMP_ID").ToString().Trim()%>RE: Test' target="_blank">Send mail</a>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</columns>
</asp:GridView>
<asp:GridView>
<columns>
...
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Send Mail">
<ItemTemplate>
<a href='mailto:<%#Eval("EMP_ID").ToString().Trim()%>?CC=<%#Eval("EMP_ID").ToString().Trim()%>&SUBJECT=<%#Eval("EMP_ID").ToString().Trim()%>RE: Test' target="_blank">Send mail</a>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</columns>
</asp:GridView>
